Eliot, who pioneered the method of psychological analysis characteristic of modern fiction, has been praised for the qualities that make her “a supreme novelist in an age of great novelists: her penetrating sympathy, her deep knowledge of humanity, her dramatic and descriptive power, her lambent humor, and the reflection of her extraordinary mind” (Kunitz & Haycraft, 212). Expert repairs to a few joints and spine ends. A handsome set. “Have you read anything beautiful lately? Do make sure somehow to get hold of and read the books by Eliot.” —Vincent Van Gogh 36 ©2020 Bauman Rare Books www.baumanrarebooks.com 1-800-97-BAUMAN (1-800-972-2862)
